James Hewicker, Planning Director, stated that Exhibit 'B ",
Findings for Denial, were revised and distributed to the Planning
Commission prior to the subject public hearing.
Chairman Debay stated that the extension of Use Permit No. 1995,
will be reviewed by the Modifications Committee in June, 1991.
The public hearing was opened in connection with this item, and
there being no one to appear before the Planning Commission, the
public hearing was closed at this time.
In response to questions posed by Commissioner Glover, Mr.
Hewicker explained that the last extension of Use Permit No. 1995
was by the Modifications Committee at its June 24, 1986, meeting.
William Laycock Current Planning Manager, explained that the
applicant has a month to month lease with The Irvine Company.
Commissioner Pers6n indicated that if the Planning Commission
does not take action, the original use permit will expire in June,
1991, and if the business would continue to function after the
expiration date, it would operate illegally. Mr. Hewicker explained
that the approval of the original building will run out in June, 1991,
unless extended. He said that if the extension would be denied by
the Modifications Committee, the applicant could appeal the
decision to the Planning Commission, or the Modifications
Committee could refer the extension to the Planning Commission.
Chairman Debay pointed out that the applicant's extension of the
use permit to the Modifications Committee does not address the
subject requests.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Glover with
respect to road access to the establishment, Don Webb, City
Engineer, explained that the applicant contacted The Irvine
Company and the City regarding consideration to pave the access

Pers6n stated that there has been a constant problem with the
applicant over the years based upon the current condition of the
property, the lease is about to expire, the vehicular access to the
subject site is inadequate, and the applicant has failed to- comply
with previous conditions of approval.
Commissioner Di Sano supported the motion based on the inaction
by the applicant at the request of the City during the past few

The public hearing was opened in connection with this item, and
Mr. Greg Kearns, applicant, appeared before the Planning
Commission, and he concurred with the findings and conditions in
Exhibit "A ".
Commissioner Edwards pointed out that the applicant was
contacted by the City in April, 1990, of the fact that the
establishment was operating without a use permit, and it was not
until after several requests to March, 1991, that the application for
a use permit was submitted. Mr. Kearns explained that it was a
lack of coordination between himself and his staff to request the
use permit.

businesses, and that there could be a potential conflict of interest,
that he would step down from the dais.
James Hewicker, Planning Director, stated that the City does not
object to boat charter activities out of the subject location, and
there is not specific problem with the use permit that is being
requested for the general assembly area.. He indicated that staff
has suggested the following conditions be added to Use Permit No.
1889 if the Planning Commission makes the determination that
boat chartering is appropriate on the site and that the provisions
under Chapters 5.18 and 17.41 of the Municipal Code are adequate
to control said activity: Condition No. 27 would not allow a boat
chartering operation that would interfere with the boat yard
operation; Condition No. 28 would not allow the loading or
unloading of passengers from the West Coast Highway right -of -way,
or other public streets or alleys; and Condition No. 29 would give
the Planning Commission the ability to bring back the use permit
for review or modification of conditions if the operation would be
•
detrimental to the area.
Commissioner Glover addressed the number of parking spaces for
the wedding chapel, and William Laycock, Current Planning
Manager, concurred that 24 parking spaces would be required for
the use.
The public hearing was opened in connection with this item, and
Mr. Edward (Ted) Robinson, applicant, appeared before the
Planning Commission. In response to questions posed by Chairman
Debay, Mr. Robinson stated that he would concur with Exhibit "A";
on the basis that the tenant would agree with Exhibit "A ", and the
foregoing conditions. In response to a previous request at the April
4, 1991, Planning Commission meeting, Mr. Robinson explained an
exhibit provided by the applicant of the proposed dock area that
would be utilized by the shipyard and the charter boat operation.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Edwards with
respect to Mr. Robinsods letter dated April 16, 1991, Mr.
Robinson explained that the charter boat operation requested a
continuance. of the subject public hearing for 30 days because the
operation believed that the conditions of approval could not be
•
met. Mr. Robinson stated that the conditions would eliminate any
boat charter in the bay because the suggested conditions are based

upon the maximum number of people that could be accommodated
daily and the applicant would be required to provide permanent
parking spaces for the maximum number of people.
In response to a question posed by Chairman Debay, Mr. Laycock
explained that if the Planning Commission had a desire to establish
limits for the boat charter activity, Findings No. 8 thru 12 and
Conditions No. 27 thru 32 as stated in the staff report, should be
added to Use Permit No. 1889. He pointed out that Finding No. 12
requires a minimum 3 year lease for the use of the off -site parking
area. Mr. Laycock explained that if it is the desire of the Planning
Commission to not include the foregoing conditions to Use Permit
No. 1889 and add the foregoing Conditions No. 27, 28, and 29 as
discussed by Mr. Hewicker, then the three year limit would no
longer be in effect and the charter boat service would be processed
through the Business License Division.
Chairman Debay stated that it was her impression given by
•
previous testimony from the Marine Department and the Business
License Division, that the existing Harbor Permit and Use Permit
procedures would be sufficient if the Planning Commission added
Conditions No. 27, 28, and 29 as previously stated.
Mr. Robinson stated that it was his first impression and now a
misunderstanding, that Findings No. 8 thru 12 and Conditions No.
27 thru 32 were additional requirements to Use Permit No. 1889.
He stated that his concern with respect to Condition No. 12
regarding the 3 year lease was that the lot owner would have total
control of the off -site parking area and the charter boat operator
would be at the discretion of the lot owner.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Di Sano
regarding the suggested foregoing additional Conditions No. 27, 28,
and 29 to Exhibit "A ", Use Permit No. 1889, Mr. Robinson replied
that he would agree to the conditions if said conditions would be
agreeable to the boat charter operator. Mr. Hewicker explained
said conditions would allow the boat charter operator to work with
the Marine Department or the Business License Division, and the
operator would not be required to provide a fixed off -site parking
lot for any period of time, and the off - loading could be provided by
•
shuttle van or another arrangement that could be made with the
Marine Department or the Business License Division.

In response to a question posed by Commissioner Di Sano, Mr.
Robinson agreed with the findings and conditions in Exhibit "A"
(Revised), Use Permit No. 3412. Commissioner Glover and
Assistant City Attorney Flory discussed the policy of the property
owner and the applicant agreeing with the findings and conditions
in Exhibit "A" (Revised).
Mr. Roy King, applicant, Pacific Avalon Marine, Inc., appeared
before the Planning Commission. Chairman Debay reviewed the
foregoing suggested additional findings and conditions in the staff
report that were submitted for the Planning Commission by staff.
Mr. King agreed with suggested Conditions No. 27, 28, and 29, Use
Permit No. 1889, and the findings and conditions in Exhibit "A"
(Revised), Use Permit No. 3412. Mr. King referred to the findings
and conditions that would establish more definable limits for the
boat chartering activities on the site that were suggested by staff to
be added to Use Permit No. 1889. He objected to Condition No.
27, as stated in the staff report, limiting boat chartering activity to
•
a total passenger load of 225 after 6:00 p.m. Monday through
Friday, 204 passengers on Saturday; and 225 passengers on Sunday
and holidays, and boat chartering activity shall not be permitted
before 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Mr. King indicated that
he would prefer to continue to maintain the permit process of the
boat charter operation through the Marine Department or the
Business License Division.
In response to questions posed by Commissioner Edwards with
respect to providing parking for the charter boat operation, Mr.
King explained that it is difficult to locate a landlord that would
lease a parking lot for three years. He said that the applicants
recently obtained and executed a maximum off -site parking lease
of one year that is renewable on a yearly basis.
King and Mr. Hewicker discussed Condition No. 27, Use
Permit No. 1889, regarding the limits of the boat chartering activity.
King explained that the applicants provide the Business
License Division with a paper from a property owner of an offsite
parking lot, indicating that the operators have obtained parking
paces for the boat passengers. He further explained that buses are
of parked on City streets, and the operators have signed a lease
•
with a property owner for bus parking. Mr. Hewicker explained

of parking spaces that are available on site and off -site, and the
numbers do not reflect boat passengers arriving by bus. Mr. King
indicated that on site parking is not available until after 6:00 p.m.;
however, he indicated that an off -site parking area is available 24
hours a day.
In response to questions posed by Commissioner Glover, Mr. King
explained that the boat charter previously rented parking spaces on
a daily basis prior to the operators obtaining the aforementioned
parking lease. Mr. King reviewed the application procedure that
is required by the City to process a permit with either the Marine
Department or the Business License Division. He stated that the
operators provide passengers with information of authorized
parldng spaces prior to the day of the boat's departure.
Commissioner Glover stated her concern with respect to providing
the businesses located on the property with necessary parking
spaces inasmuch as the boat charter could affect the business of
said tenants. Mr. King stated that the boat charter operators patrol
the parking lot so as to prohibit illegal passenger parking.
Commissioner Edwards addressed Use Permit No. 1889, suggested
Finding No. 12 as stated in the staff report regarding a 3 year off -
site parking lease, and he suggested that the finding could be
modified to state "..provisions for off -site parking is necessary so as
to be of sufficient direction of the proposed use..:'. He further
addressed Condition No. 30 regarding an off -site parking
agreement and he suggested a modification to the condition that
would include "to be directed by the Marine Department." Mr.
King responded that the operators currently are required to obtain
roof that there is available parking prior to obtaining a permit
from the City. Commissioner Edwards addressed Use Permit No.
1889, suggested Condition No. 27, and Mr. King stated that he
would concur with the condition if the charter activity would be
allowed to operate prior to 6:00 p.m. as long as he provided off -site
arking.
Mr. King and Commissioner Glover discussed the feasibility of
daytime chartering and off -site parking.

Commissioner Edwards indicated. that suggested Use Permit No.
1889, Findings No. 8 thm 12 and Conditions No. 27 thru 32 as
stated in the staff report, would give the Planning Commission the
authority to administer the boat charter business, and he stated that
he was not certain if the Planning Commission should be

Condition No. 29 be added and modified to Use Permit No. 1889
